Toronto (Days 1 & 2)

Last Friday, we flew to Toronto to visit Michele's family. Alex enjoyed seeing Ohare again. Riding in the stroller? Naw, look closer -- he's actually pushing it. Once we got on the plane, Michele tried to eat her lunch. Somebody else had other plans.

When we got to Ottawa, Phong braved traffic (thank you!) to pick us up. Alex & Michele had a bit of a fight over his bottle -- Alex won as you can see.

Then it was time to go out for dinner. After Alex put his shoes on (with a little help), he brought me mine. Back at the hotel after dinner, we all had a drink and went to bed.

On Saturday, Alex took some time to explore the vast hotel lobby (especially compared to that room!) before heading across the street to Phong's to play with the Wii (again). Alex thought the controller was a cordless phone and somehow called Natalie to go out for lunch.

Back at the hotel again, Alex tried to decipher the label of some facial lotion, but got frustrated and tried to escape before his nap.

Dinner happened after an exciting car ride to the harbor. Grandma Sharon proved quite adept at entertaining an otherwise-bored Alex halfway through the meal. A spoon, or for that matter anything that fits into his mouth, can be helpful as well. Eventually, he was hungry again, so Grandpa Joe got to hold him as he found and devoured a few more bits of food. Uncle Adrian and Daphne got to meet Alex for the first time. Here's the group at dinner (except for Daphne, who was behind the camera!).
